Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 2 new species in the genus.
Suda et al. 2002 propose an emendation of the genus "Planktothrix" which has no standing in nomenclature under the Rules of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision). — Planktothrix Anagnostidis and Komárek 1988 is validly published under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.
